Our first Christmas tree...

Even though we are going to be up in Price for a couple weeks, we still got a real Christmas tree. Brett didn't want one, but I don't think Christmas feels like Christmas til you have a Christmas tree. However, it isn't decorated very well since we don't have a lot of money. But it's still our first tree. We went with Jeremy and Heidi to get it. Heidi and I kept picking out smaller trees, but the boys wanted big ones. Silly boys.... I think my favorite part is our nativity scene and stockings. It's always fun to get in the Christmas spirit and remember the birth of our Savior.

We are so happy to be done with school for the semester! I am looking forward to my last semester of school for a long time and being a RN. Brett is just happy to get another semester done, he still has a long road ahead but he is looking forward to being a dentist.

Guess what happened in St. George today? It snowed! It snowed most of the day, but not much stuck, thank goodness! Can you believe snow in St. George? That is just nuts! The snow makes the D blend in....

By the way Danae is getting married on March 14th for those of you who were wondering.

We hope that everyone is enjoying the holiday season and remembering the true meaning of Christmas. We are so grateful for the birth of Jesus Christ and the life that he lived for all of us. Have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Thanksgiving weekend...

We hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving and are enjoying this holiday season! We had a fun weekend. I had to work from 6 to 6:30 on Thanksgiving day, so poor Brett stayed home and loaded the car and studied. I am grateful I have a husband who is willing to sacrifice his Thanksgiving dinner, since I had to work. When I got off we headed out for Price. It had been storming all day in St. George, so I was super stressed about the roads but they ended up being fine. Thank goodness! On Friday we got to spend the day with the Riches and go to Thanksgiving dinner at Grandma Riche's. It was fun to see Tim, Terri, Justin, Michelle, and the rest of the gang up there. It was sure yummy!

Here is Brett wrestling with Caleb. Sorry its the only pic I got up there....

Denna and Happy

On Saturday we spent the day with the my family. We had fun. The boys went rabbit hunting while the girls ran some errands and talked. Then Brett put on the body suit to get chased by the police dog.
The dog is in "Attack School" so he needs all the practice he can get.

Getting ready....

After with slobber and blood on the suit...


After he played with the dog we had our Turkey Bowl. Here is dad stretching for the big game....
Brett, Justin, Ryan Falk, and I were on the winning team against Jason, Dad, Jeremy, Heidi T., and Lance. They tried hard, but we beat them! My mom made a big dinner and Riches (except Danae) came over to eat after the football game. After we were done eating Denna got a call from Danae, she got engaged to Jake Jenson! The cute couple...

Her gorgeous ring!

We are super excited for them. Denna and Happy are happy too. They still haven't picked out a date, but they will be getting married in the Salt Lake Temple. We will keep you informed on all of that.
Sunday we went to church with my family and saw both of our families and headed home. What a long ride! It was a fun weekend! We love both of our families so much! We are truely blessed with great families!

Nicole and Jason
